With recessed lighting, 9 foot ceilings, and modern fixtures, this property is a great find. The unit is just steps to the Yellow and Green Metro lines, Target, Best Buy, Bed Bath & Beyond, Washington Sports Club, and Lidl Grocery Store, while the building features a gated courtyard with mini dog park, and common laundry room.
